"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."~ John 14:6
I don't know why it is so hard for me to bring it up to people. There is one, I have mentioned before, that says it isn't for him. How do I go about bringing it up in conversation without having him not want to come around anymore because I am just concerned for him and want him to be in Heaven with us?
They said in class if you saw someone getting ready to drive off a bridge that wasn't finished you would try to save them, try to stop them from dying. Why can't I do that with my friends or others that are lost? Why am I so worried about what others might think, that I might run them off. I shouldn't care or worry about that because I am just doing what God wants us to do. To tell the lost about Jesus and His wonderful Father! To help them see that there is only one true way to happiness, to eternal life, to Heaven.
I am still trying to work on that, trying to find people that I do know that don't know Jesus. To find the right opportunity to bring it up with my friend. Right now I just continue to pray for him and hope that is helping.
Here are a few great verses I found.

"Send us around the world with the news of Your saving power & Your eternal plan for all mankind."~ Psalm 67:2
